I tell my spouse I can change the sheets in seconds, and pre-swap the sheets to accomplish it. This makes it a “fun” thing, that my brain is more than happy to focus on because it’s “fun”. It also happens with just the right frequency that it doesn’t become boring.

However, if my spouse ever found out the trick (or told me they did) the magic would be lost.

I don't really get what you mean by preswapping, like you changed the sheets on a spare duvet and just swapped out the entire duvet, but then what about the sheets on the mattress? Or do you just mean you do the entire task of changing the bedsheets unobserved and then tell your wife you're about to change them and announce that you've finished a few seconds later?
